About La Bataille du feu
Activities and exploits of firefighters in the context of a village then the capital and under the bombardments of the Second World War where the saving of lives was more important than that of factories.
Directed by Maurice de Canonge, La Bataille du feu leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Larquey, Louis Florencie, Noëlle Norman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1949.
